Sangam Houses

When the clients approached the architect to design six individual homes for the six brothers, the architect was not one to shy away from taking up this challenge. He was able to achieve Vastu compliance along with functionality and individuality in all these compact homes. Even though compact, the houses are designed to invite ample natural daylight, lots of ventilation, and easy movement within. A façade screen that brings in the first rays of the sun from the east, a central skylight right above the staircase, and the north balconies are some of the major elements that add light and life to every individual space in the houses. A minimal and raw material palette of concrete and wood runs throughout the houses making them a humble abode where space planning and functionality have the first priority. What then adds individuality is the different patterns, artwork, and choices of the individual homeowners.
